Spotify for Mac users might be a little stumped when trying to manually check for updates in the app, and you’re not alone. Unlike a lot of Mac apps, the Spotify app doesn’t have a dedicated “Check for Updates” option in any of its menus.

The process is a bit convoluted, and because of that, we’ll show you how you can check for updates for the Spotify app on your Mac in this tutorial.

Software updates can be critical, sometimes fixing bugs, improving performance, and enhancing your security. With that in mind, it’s a good idea to know how to update your apps manually, and to do so regularly if automatic updates aren’t already enabled.

How do I check for Spotify updates?

While Spotify doesn’t follow the traditional update format that most Mac apps use, it typically stays up to date automatically. Nevertheless, there’s still a way to check for updates manually, and this can be useful whenever you’re somewhere with shoddy Wi-Fi and the automatic updates aren’t getting a chance to finish.
